| Summary: | Previous studies have shown that there is a relationship between human body scent and physical attractiveness. This was proven through Major Histocompatibility Complex genes and facial symmetry wherein skin healthiness is a factor affecting facial attractiveness. Consequently, sexual selection is also a factor that supports the idea of mate preference in humans. In this study, t-shirts worn by 40 males for two consecutive nights and 40 facial photographs were used as instruments for the basis of attraction. Female participants rated the t-shirts and the facial photographs of those males. Findings from this study showed no significant correlation between the facial attraction and odor attraction. |
